Fully Mobile Mental Health Occupational Therapists (OT’s) Will Meet You In Your Home
Our Mental Health Occupational Therapists (MHOT's) are specialist therapists dedicated to helping you improve your mental wellbeing. Through tailored counselling sessions in the comfort of your own home, they’ll equip and empower you with the tools necessary for positive growth and self-care.
Our occupational therapists take a unique occupational approach in assisting individuals with mental health concerns. We work alongside individuals to support engagement in activities and occupations that are meaningful and bring value and purpose to life. Strategies which align with your goals and needs are put into place to.
Mental Health Occupational Therapy Impact Assessments
OTs assess and evaluate how a person’s emotional and mental health issues impact on their participation in everyday occupations. Therapists then employ occupational, therapy-specific approaches and models as well as evidence-based interventions to support and empower the individual along their recovery journey, to participate and engage in the activities and occupations they want and need to do. This looks different for each person, but can include counselling, capacity building across activities of daily living, cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy and more.
Skills Building Including Mental Health, Physical Health, Daily Living, Leisure and Social Skills
Our occupational therapists work out the best ways to optimise a person’s daily independent living skills. This can include support with self-care, looking after your home, getting out and about, finding or staying in work or education, or participating in social and leisure activities.
Our therapists focus on strategies that work for the individual. Skills building aims to enhance participation in identified daily activities and relationship building across all domains. This may include those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (Not Otherwise Specified) and Asperger’s, and others who may struggle with social skills.
Skills building therapies aim to maximise participation in daily activities. Interventions are goal- directed towards client and family-centred outcomes. Skills are developed across three domains:
Cognitive Skills, including decision making, problem solving, creative and critical thinking
Emotional Skills, including self-awareness and self-management
Interpersonal and social skills, including interpersonal relationship skills, communication and social awareness
